New Storm Hits Northeast, Zaps Power, Flights

And there may be more to come this weekend

–
Little relief for the Northeast after a snowstorm Monday: Today, it's facing another winter storm, one that's already canceled some 2,400 flights, Fox News reports. Snowfall will range between a few inches in some areas, including New York City and Pittsburgh, to more than a foot in the Catskills and parts of New England. The "norm," per CNN, will be eight to 12 inches, with snowfall slowing in the afternoon. Ice is also expected in many areas, with New York City facing half an inch. In the Philadelphia area, more than 500,000 are without power, Philly.com reports. Areas across New England are closing schools.

More snow could also hit Illinois and Iowa, with ice and freezing rain in Mississippi. Some 120 million people may be affected, CNN notes. "A little bit of everything for everybody, it seems like," says a Pennsylvania meteorologist. "About the only thing we probably won't have is locusts." And today's not the end of it: Another winter storm is due this weekend, and it could be the worst of a bad week, AccuWeather reports.

There seems a pattern which has
been followed in the past decade or so, too. Years with powerful
hurricane seasons seem to have moderate winters, while years without
major hurricane seasons, like the last two years, seem to have
extremely powerful winters. It seems there is an amount of effective
energy in the air that needs to be released, either as hurricanes in
the warmer months or massive snowfall in the colder part of the year.
This does not necessarily seem to have been the case so powerfully
more than a decade or so ago. But that's the year when the
government program of doping the air with weather modification
chemicals from high flying jets, leaving long, non dissipating vapor
lanes stretching from horizon to horizon, lasting for up to an hour,
what came to be known as “chemtrails”, was first exposed because
the lanes started to be seen, as many as a dozen or more in the sky
at one time. In fact, chemtrailing seems to have begun in the early
Fifties, when jets first began to be used worldwide. They were first
seen around 1997 because, it seems, that was the year the skies
became so saturated with chemical that any new contributions
precipitated out. In the years between 1950 and 1997, chemtrails had
other effects, such as increasing the number of tornadoes per year
from the previous constant 180 to the point where, now, there are
seven or more times that number per year, and creating the first new
cloud species to be added to the Cloud Catalog since its inception,
the cirrus intortus. Since 1997, the saturation of the atmosphere
with weather modification chemical, most of the phenomena attributed
to climate change have occurred, including the warmest year on
record; the largest year-to-year drop in Arctic sea ice coverage; the
Northwest Passage being open for the first time in human history; the
most intense hurricane season on record; the accelerated
disappearance of glaciers; the disappearance of bees; unprecedented
hundred degree heat waves from London to Siberia; the appearance of
tornadoes where they were previously unknown, like Brooklyn; the
arrival of unprecedented hundred mile per hour straight line wind
storms, called “super derechos”; and the development of the first
new cloud species to be seen since cirrus intortus, the undulatus
asperatus. Chemtrails are the cause of climate change, not “fossil
fuels”. The chemicals they inject into the atmosphere cause an
unnatural concentration of energy that apparently has to be worked
off, one way of the other.

Amazing how the Gods of Football made sure the weather was fine for the Superbowl and now it's back to being bad for the Northeast.
